The “supernatural” goal of the Argentinean Franco Valdes, a player of the Royal Obrero team, against the Entre Rios club (2: 1) in the Regional Football League of Bolivia spread like wildfire.
The 23-year-old Franco Valdes broke through the opponent’s defense and penetrated into the penalty area on the right, before lifting the ball with great skill in the style of “Captain Majid” and acrobaticly hitting it to lead his team to victory over Entre Ríos. (2-1) Rainy night.
Puskas Prize, can you hear me?
